Corner Market FAQs

During the Spring & Summer (late April through late August), the Corner Market is open 10 AM-7 PM Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The Corner Market is closed Monday-Thursday during Spring & Summer.

During the fall season, the Corner Market is closed, but our Festival Market (located outside the festival grounds) is open daily.

The Corner Market is open daily during the Christmas season (the day after Thanksgiving through December 23). Hours are 11 AM-8 PM Monday through Friday, and 9 AM-7 PM Saturday and Sunday.

Is the farm open at all during the week? What if I really need fresh sweet corn?

During Spring & Summer, the Corner Market is open only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The farm is completely closed Monday-Thursday, so we do not have produce or anything else available for sale on those days.

Our products change seasonally! During the Spring & Summer, the Corner Market features tropicals, hanging baskets, and vegetable and herb plants from our own greenhouses, as well as homegrown and local produce. During the Christmas season, we offer premium, freshly cut Christmas trees, handmade wreaths, and stunning centerpieces.

We offer a selection of local honey, preserves, and tasty treats like homemade kettle corn, fresh donuts, cinnamon roasted almonds, and more. We typically have local pastured eggs during Spring & Summer, and local apple cider during the fall and winter seasons. Our Corner Market is closed during the fall, when we offer pumpkins, apples, and more at our Festival Market located outside the festival grounds.

Because we are a small-scale producer, availability of our products changes quickly and often. Please email info@coxfarms.com or call (703) 830-4121 before you visit if you are looking for a particular item, and we'll be happy to let you know if we have it in stock that day.

What is there to do at the Corner Market?

It depends on the season, but the bottom line is that the Corner Market is NOT the Fall Festival, and there is not nearly as much fun and exciting stuff to do at the Corner Market. Having said that, we think it's a fun place to shop and a cute place to play outside.

During Spring & Summer, you'll find farm animals to visit, fun photo ops, lots of wooden climbing structures for little kids (train, boat, fire truck, etc.), bubbles to chase, and an area with field games including corn hole and oversized wooden versions of favorites like Jenga, Connect-4, Yatzee, checkers, and dominoes.

During Smokin' Saturdays in the Spring & Summer, there's even more action: visits to Foamhenge, live music, lots of tasty treats, and occasional demos and activities.

During our Christmas season, we have a fire for roasting marshmallows (s'mores kits and hot dog kits available!), wooden climbing structures, farm animals, photo ops, a magic "snow" machine, and even a few visits from Santa!

On Fridays and Sundays during the Spring & Summer, there may be some treats offered but availability is not guaranteed. You are always welcome to bring your own food and snacks; we have plenty of picnic tables around the Corner Market.

Can we visit the festival grounds, slides, etc. from the Corner Market?

The festival grounds, including giant slides, hayrides, rope swings, and other play areas, are only open during the Fall Festival. If you visit the Corner Market during the spring, summer, or winter seasons, you will not be able to play on the festival grounds.

Can I bring a pet?

Pets are not permitted at the Fall Festival or Fields of Fear. Of course, working dogs that meet the ADA's definition of a service animal are always welcome.

Please note: Therapy, emotional support, and comfort animals do NOT meet the ADA definition of a service animal and therefore are not permitted.

During Spring & Summer and Christmas at the Corner Market, we welcome well-behaved, leashed pets in limited areas. Dogs are not permitted in the food/produce areas or near our farm animals. Please respect the "Dogs not permitted beyond this point" signs.

Do you accept credit cards at the Corner Market?

Yes, we accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover credit cards.

Do you accept checks at the Corner Market?

No, we do not accept checks at the Corner Market. We accept cash and Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit cards.

How do I apply to work at the Corner Market?

Each year, we hire hundreds of employees to staff our Fall Festival and Fields of Fear. Since the Corner Market only requires a small team, our retail crew is selected from our pool of fall employees. We do not hire any new employees to work the spring, summer, or winter seasons.

If you are interested in working at the Fall Festival or Fields of Fear, please visit www.workingatcoxfarms.com for information. Hiring season is July-August each year.

Is the farm open?

During our Spring & Summer season, the Corner Market is open 10 AM-7 PM Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only. The farm is closed Monday through Thursday each week. Spring & Summer dates vary but typically the season is late April through late August.

The farm closes completely between late August and mid-September, when the Fall Festival begins, and then again between early November (when the fall season ends) and the day after Thanksgiving.

The Corner Market is open daily during the Christmas season (the day after Thanksgiving through December 23). The farm is completely closed December 25 through late April.

Please note that the festival grounds (giant slides, hayrides, rope swings, and other play areas) are open ONLY during the Fall Festival, so those activities are not available during other seasons. All other seasons operate from the Corner Market.

What's so special about Smokin' Saturdays during Spring & Summer?

During Spring & Summer, we celebrate the season with Smokin' Saturdays at the Corner Market every week 11 AM- 3 PM.
